Booked for unsporting behaviour.

Above is all of the information that you need, to know that our promotion push is back on track.

When it flashed up, it took a second or two to register (because I was begging for full-time), and then a yelp of YESSSSSSSSS! (momentarily forgetting I had a horrid sore throat).

A last-minute winner, and our oft-overlooked French full-back booked for celebrating in the crowd. Fantastic stuff, and with ten men for an hour too. Pards could easily have put Bougherra on for Thomas, but he opted for Varney and unlike versus QPR, this attack-minded substitution paid off.

Watford got hammered, and now we're back up to 4th, with a chance to reel in Bristol City on Tuesday night. Some others lost the faith; I didn't. Crisis? What crisis? Up the Addicks!

I was in row E, Moo2Kil was only a strech away from me giving him a gallic hug.

It was a superb performance but the way the players celebrated at the end will stick in my memory for a long time. Moo2kil must have ran 30 yards when we scored ignored the pile of players celebrating the goal and just hurdled the advertising board and threw himself into the Charlton fans.
